This role can vary depending on organization and application.

Some project coordinator roles have more administrative tasks while others are more hands on.

Basically this role would be considered a Jr. PM role - you assist the PM directly and help lead the team or project.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was thinking the duties would be.

In my experience, project coordinators basically help the project teams manage resources and assist with scheduling, planning meetings and project activities. The project coordinator role may include additional duties and responsibilities depending on the organization.

To my knowledge and experience, project coordinator main duty is ensuring things are getting done properly. This means regardless of project constraint which is the main concern of project managers moving forward. However, in today's business, different positions and roles can be very similar to each other. Then again, it should be defined specifically in the business environment.

I agree with all the above and I would add one more thing: it depends on the pm himself/herself if he/she wants to have another admin personel or a really right hand for him/her.

Job description can tell part of the story but the PM character and managemnt style will tell the whole story .. in addition to what others said about complexity of the project
